The present paper seeks to explore the extent to which the use of the weblog in the Greek EFL classroom can serve as a means of helping learners improve their writing and research skills. The possibility of creating ‘nodes’ of learning through blog posts that can enhance foreign language learning in real life communication instances with other members of online communities occupies central position in this research. The development of new literacies as well as the increase of intercultural awareness through the blog in a constantly changing global environment are also issues that the present research focuses on.
